As much as I want to mock this, it might be quite good fun!

Scotland probably wouldn't qualify for it.

We could think of the Losers Squad - these players who won't be in the World Cup because their countries failed to qualify, would be a good team if they got together. Almost all managers would like to have these players.
For example, we could form a team with:
Buffon
Antonio Valencia
Bonucci
Chiellini
Verratti
Gareth Bale
Alexis Sanchez
David Alaba
Arturo Vidal
Virgil van Dijk
Pierre Aubameyang
Others could be subs, like:
Jan Oblak
Pjanic
Henrikh Mkhitaryan
Aaron Ramsey
---------
Any thoughts?

Just one: what's so special about Pjanic that he gets lumped with the Italians in having just one name? |

It would be good for the USMNT and the game here in the States. The Gold Cup doesn't generate any kind of buzz so it would be five years before the sport got any kind of coverage. If it happens, I hope it's taken (somewhat) seriously and real squads are participating, not U-21's and B teams.

I just typed them up as they came to my mind. |

So this is like the NIT in college basketball when you're not selected to the field of 64(68).
Shame on the U.S. for partaking.
Should have pulled a Ben Simmons (LSU) and said - nope
I hope they lose to the Ivory Coast in the first game.

Given that there are better teams that get into the NCAA with awful rankings and automatic bids, I'd say the NIT winner is better than most of the first round losers in the NCAA. Could rank about 40th. |

this is like arguing on the internet. If you win, you're still a loser.
